In this video, a trio of firefighters are having a chat when one of them suddenly transforms into our metal firefighting hero, with yellow dyed hair and white and black face paint. The orange jumpsuits also conjure a Slipknot vibe. His cohorts are initially shocked as this metal firefighting superhero belts out his fire safety info about escaping residential structure fires with a driving metal beat behind it.

It’s not long until additional firefighters show up with instruments, including one firefighter who drops a killer guitar solo. Hilariously at one point, our firefighting hero replaces Ryan Gosling in a La La Land scene dancing with Emma Stone for some reason. Regardless, the whole thing definitely captures your attention, which is great when you’re trying to drive home some safety tips.

According to the video’s description, Na utilized an artificial intelligence program to create the music. In just over a month, this video has amassed over 233,000 views on YouTube.

The Korean Herald reports that Na stated in an interview earlier this year that he started making the video to relieve the stress from work. Now that they’ve started garnering attention, he’s felt a sense of accomplishment over being able to get the fire safety message out.
